I'm sure some of the crusty old-timers may have used them in the game's earliest days (pre-AD&D).

Yep, that's me the crusty old-timer.

I had a 4 ft by 8 ft table that was for a HO train set but I promptly ripped up all the tracks and drew 2 inch squares with a magic marker.
I then pounded in a nail at each cross-point and used rubber bands to lay out rooms as the PCs went into them.

I was using minis from Grenadier for PCs but used plastic dinosaurs for Chimeras, etc. and a couple of Star Wars Jawas acted as Ogres or Giants.
The eraser and clothes pin seemed very familiar to me.

After several close calls where nails went flying I pulled them all out and painted the table with chalk-board paint. My first edition books still smell of chalk.

I wish I had some pictures from those days :(

I thought the 4E trailer was mildly-amusing, but the D&D PSAs you can watch on YouTube are much better. The video would have been great if while the French guy was talking have Lidda pop-up behind him "Sneak Attack!"

Great News!

And it only took you 3 minutes to reply!!!

I love you guys. :)

What was the conversion rate of Dungeon and Dragon issues to Pathfinder?
I had 11 issues left and right now "My Subscriptions" says I get the first 2 free and then I start getting charged, and I thought I was getting more 1 or 2 more than that.
Is this correct or did I get hit by the same glitch as firevalkyrie?

Thanks!

Also, Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the three core books for this version aren't being released at the same time? I mean they're being released a month apart! What the Hell?

You kids have it easy!

That monster is a Sinspawn, a medium aberration found in Pathfinder 1. The bestiary section also detail Envyspawn, Gluttonspawn, Greedspawn, Lustspawn, Pridespawn and Slothspawn. This new magazine keeps getting better and better!

edit: I should have looked a little further and read all the pages of this thread before posting, but I'm still excited about Pathfinder.

For those of you who really like this type of adventures, see if you can find a copy of "Nyambe: African Adventures" from Atlas Games, written by Chris Dolunt. It's a very good setting. And, you'll find my name in there as a contributing author... I developed a few of the monsters in the book...

Speaking of Nyambe...

Those pics look great!

I know the figs are coming unpainted, but will they need some assembly like the Chainmail figs?
